There are two good reasons to put your napkin in your lap. one is that food might spill in your lap, and it is better to stain the napkin than your clothing. the other is that it can serve as a perfect hiding place. practically nobody is nosey enough to take the napkin off a lap to see what is hidden there.

Appreciation Children Hands
There's enough food in this world. there's enough housing in this world. there's enough shelter in this world. there's enough clothing in this world. there's enough teachers, there's enough universities for everybody's needs to be met, and the reasons they aren't is not because of lack of resources. it's because of distribution, and that's the politics of hate, which is why this is a movement against that. it's a politics of love.

Love is like grass. if you fall on it, it may leave a stain and some temporary pain. but you'll get over the pain, it will eventually stop hurting. now maybe the stain ruined your favourite pair of jeans, or maybe it was nothing special that was ruined, but either way the stain remains there. and with time, it will begin to fade, but it will always be there, a permanent reminder that you, too, once fell.

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. there is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. this interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.
Feelings Doe Want
You could not possibly maintain the current level of government taxation without the taxes being hidden, and they are hidden in two very different ways. they are hidden through withholding, but they are also hidden by being imposed on business, supposedly on business, when really, of course, business can't pay taxes, only people can pay taxes.

What would happen to the individual if all the functions of the body were placed under the control of the consciousness is what would happen to a nation in which all individual activities were directed by government.
Government Body Consciousness
The basic function of the government everywhere in all times, whatever title it adopts and whatever its origin and organisation may be, is always that of oppressing and exploiting the masses, of defending the oppressors and the exploiters: and it's principal, characteristic and indispensable instruments are the police agent and the tax-collector, the soldier and the gaoler - to whom must be invariably added the trader in lies, be he priest of schoolmaster, remunerated or protected by the government to enslave minds and make them docilely accept the yoke.
